I felt like I was back in middle school watching one of the myriad of reel films :)

I didn't find any errors in anything they said.  As far as safety- those ancient bikes scare me to death... crappy handling, brakes, suspension, tires, helmets, lights, reliability.... just generally crappy!

Can't believe none of you mentioned Peter Fonda or Evel Kneivel  being in the video.  Man, I had every Evel Kneivel toy when I was a kid.  We built jumps and sailed over them on our Huffys and Columbias. 

I think I was on some of those roads last week.
